What is jURP?

jURP, or the Junior Urban and Regional Planning Challenge 2019, is a first-of-its-kind event aimed at providing youth input into our City Plan through an urban planning competition. You’ll be presented with a topic related to Edmonton's City Plan and have all-day Saturday to come up with the best solution, as you compete against different teams composed of 5 youth from ages 14 to 19. Each team will also have a mentor from GAPSS, the Geography and Planning Students' Society, who will have a ton of expertise in urban planning and help you in developing your solution. You'll also get the chance to learn about urban planning and affecting city instructure through speakers and workshops! Oh yeah, and free food!

The event is comprised of an introductory evening on Friday, May 24th from 6pm to 9pm (where the topic will be introduced and you'll have a chance to brainstorm) and the actual planning and judging, which will occur on May 25th from 10am to 5pm.

Design the city you want to live in tomorrow. Have your voice heard. Participate in the first ever junior urban planning conference and make Edmonton yours.
